Week ending 14 May, 2010

Scene: I am out on my morning walk. Dawn is breaking and there is heavy fog.

Walking west along Highcrest Av I see headlights in the distance. The lights are flickering which I think is strange but perhaps it’s the fog? Or maybe someone in automotive design decided it would be a good idea to make sure people can make their headlight flicker like this? I squinted to see if I could make more sense of these eerie lights. As I was staring, they gradually got further apart which freaked me out. Then the two cyclists turned the corner.

I’m walking down the subway out of Central Station. I’m listening to a Grammar Girl podcast but can faintly hear a busker singing “…it’s gonna be a bright, bright, sun-shiny day…”
As the crowd gets closer, a dozen people around me start singing along. It made my day!
